Question:

Morning I need to get replacement hubs for my utility trailer. The only information I have is that it has a straight spindle with bearings marked L44643 and the hubs are 5x4.5. The hub also has a EM1000 marked on it. I dont have a weight capacity of the hub or the axle, the axle itself is a C channel with the spindles welded in on either end. Thanks you for your help

Expert Reply:

For a replacement hub that uses # L44643 bearings with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern you'll want the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-258BTUC1. This will come as a quantity of one so you'd need two kits to do both sides of the axles. Each kit will come with the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts included.
